Timetric's 'Coal Mining in Indonesia to 2020' report comprehensively
covers Indonesian reserves of coal, reserves by state, resources and
reserves by coal quality, proximate analysis of coal, the historic and
forecast data on Indonesian coal production and by type, coal prices,
historic and forecast coal consumption and consumption vs electricity
generation and electricity generation from coal, consumption by type and
historic and forecast coal exports, exports by type and by country. The
report also includes factors driving demand for the commodity, profiles
of major coal producing companies and information on the active,
exploration and development coal projects.

The country has globally the ninth largest proven reserves of coal at 28
billion tonnes (Bnt), accounting for 3.1% of the global total at the end
of 2014. Spread across 17 provinces and 11 basins in the country, the
reserves consist mainly of sub-bituminous grade deposits, which have low
to medium calorific value, high moisture and low ash and sulphur
content, making it a relatively clean source of energy.

Key Highlights:

- Reserves are widely spread across the country - South Sumatra followed
by East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan hold most of the coal deposits
with 39%, 34% and 16% share of reserves respectively.

- Indonesia was the fourth-largest global producer of coal in 2014, with
production of 458Mt, however this was a 3.4% reduction from 2013.

- Its coal industry is export oriented with around 78% of total
production exported in 2014, with rising demand from India, China, Japan
and South Korea supporting growth.
